How Laurie’s Approaches Guide Online Work

Laurie uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and ongoing relationships shape current reactions. This work helps when patterns of mistrust, abandonment, or overly avoidant behavior are getting in the way of connection. Client-centered methods form the base of her approach, so sessions start with the persons goals and follow their pace while offering practical support.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT techniques are useful for anxiety, sleep trouble, low mood, and managing cravings or anger by practicing new responses in everyday life. Together these approaches help address grief, caregiving stress, and life changes in a focused way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She checks in about what helps and adapts plans as progress is made.
